Force fed
Had to watch — forced myself actually — Sarah Palin address the faithful at Saturday night's "Tea Party Convention." Was pleased when all the national media panned down the steets on Broadway [and] the bars didn't have their "Guns Welcomed Here" signs out.
Palin is a charismatic, effective public speaker, to be sure. She looks a lot better than Hillary in high heels. But, her content is an attempted throwback to "yesterday, and years gone by." Bigger military, an arrogant diplomatic posture, and pray for "Divine Intervention" when the chips are down.
She effectively, to the 600 attendees, [drew] rousing appreciation — everyone on their feet, with hand pumps and high fives.
A one-on-one question and answer session at the conclusion floated the idea of "President Palin." The interviewer said those two words "scare people." You bet they do. All of her ideas and rhetoric give people hope for something different that we bought into last election and like a little child, have become bored with our new toy.
It's always "something different; a change" that we vote into office. It was G.W. Bush as a change from the Clinton years. Then it was Barack Obama as a change from the Bush years. In 2012, it could very well be Palin as a change from the Obama years.
America has a short attention span.

yes and that would be Piss-tash-io's, Cash-hews, Wall-nuts and Pee-cans. I don't care if you all think I"m nuts. At least you're thinking. And now that you all have dubbed me nuts, when you're in a bar and the beer nuts come out, you'll probably choke on them.
Have a nice night. I miss Dusty. You are correct about 2 things: Sid is nuts; Dusty is diplomatic and a real gentleman. Hope he's OK today.
Funditto said
"it's official - I'm seriously afraid of sid"
Like I said in an earlier post, ain't enough tin foil in the world......
I am going to go to the store and get milk. I hope you all have a safe drive home.
sid, what's the difference between beer nuts & deer nuts?
Beer nuts are over $3 a can, and deer nuts are under a buck.
Oh house lol
drive safe, Nemo.
house, that is hilarious!
you know, we need to pray for Lois. she does live next to sid.....
sid wonders why we don't use our real names.
Nemo, 'cause they don't sound as cool?
sid seems to have forgotten that Dusty thinks she's a wacko too.
Poor Lois. lol
You too blanket night.
I hope to hear from Dusty.
Now for real. Good night Gracie
I'm a "functioning wacko"...I can blend in...
take care, Nemo.
8~)
hopefully we'll hear from Dusty tomorrow.
oh, you blend......
that was a line from "My Cousin Vinny"
actually sid is nucking futs
we are still consuming all the bread and milk we bought last week!
i went to Kroger yesterday and it was like the day before thanksgiving. not a free parking spot in sight!
ok, getting ready to wrap it up. have a good evening, everyone.
and yes, sid is nucking futs.
Fun, I consumed all the tequila I bought for the last "ice age"...
I was stuck in the house with a 3 year-old.

And thanking God every day that she nor I live near you.

No, but he's a gentleman and does not call anyone, even me, names.
By the way, Blanket, Lois lost her son, so please, you all continue to play your mind truck games, but leave her name out of it. Unless you'd like to offer up a real sincere prayer. I can't imagine that anyone with any heart at all who knows her would be talking about her and to someone who would "hurl" her name at me on this richard cranium post. She's one of the most awesome people on the planet. That she is my neighbor is a plus for me in life. Along with the other 7-8 neighbors I hold dear on this street. Glad I don't live in "blue city" where the cold runs deep.
